Faith & Roses

Am I where I am supposed to be, or am I where I laid down?
Can I accept what my life is here and now and choose to proceed?
Is this complacency or contentment?
Am I repeating useless behaviors?
Am I being the friend I’d like to have?
Am I avoiding people, places, or things?

I am grateful for unanswered questions; for becoming willing to be led. To awaken to see I don’t owe many explanations nor do I have things to prove. Arrogance, fear, the deceit of self-centeredness? No. This rests in the freedom set before me. I can choose for me; there’s no one tied to my choices in a way where I can cause harm moving along this path of self-discovery.

All is well. I am standing on the shoulders of others.

How wonderful, Higher Power, to experience my own personal “great unravelling.”

Our ideas of success are as individual as we are. We start at different places and our destinations are just as varied. We know how to do some things very well and others not at all… We have this in common: We want to be free. We want to feel accepted and respected without pretending to be anything other than who we are. No matter what our accomplishments, the principles by which we live will sustain or destroy us.
